Avoid this by invoking the configure command below with ABI=32 ./configure ... Prepare GMP for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-cxx \ --disable-static \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version; The meaning of the new configure options: --enable-cxx This parameter enables C++ support --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version; This variable specifies the correct place for the documentation. Compile the package and generate the HTML documentation: make make html The test suite for GMP in this section is considered critical. Do not skip it under any circumstances. Test the results: make check 2>&1 | tee gmp-check-log Ensure that all 190 tests in the test suite passed. Check the results by issuing the following command: awk '/# PASS:/{total+=$3} ; END{print total}' gmp-check-log Install the package and its documentation: make install make install-html Contents of GMP Installed Libraries Installed directory libgmp.so and libgmpxx.so /usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version; Short Descriptions libgmp Contains precision math functions libgmp libgmpxx Contains C++ precision math functions libgmpxx
